The Holiday.

The weird timings of the show was indication that the movie was ending its run soon. So I decided to catch it today simply because I'd seen the trailers a couple of months back and it looked like a nice romantic flick, somewhat like Love Actually (which I loved). And of course, there is Jude Law. How could anyone miss a show starring Jude? But why do they always cast him in such 'chee-hong' roles?? Ok, in The Holiday, he wasn't a player, but it started off with him giving viewers the impression that he was.

The movie was great. It was sad, touching, heartwarming, heart-wrenching all at the same time, and very real.

It was heart-wrenching watching Kate's ex boyfriend, Ethan spring the unexpected announcement of his engagement on her.

It was sweet and touching when Ethan called to say he'd left a parcel at Kate's place halfway across the world, have her look high and low for it, only to find it with him at her doorstep when she opened the door.

But it was sickening watching him trying to hold on to her, telling her he didn't want to lose her, despite him already being engaged to be wed.

It was extremely heartwarming watching Jude play a widowed father to his 2 girls.

It was all too easy to relate to when Kate described about how she knew small feelings, and how she actually feels the pain in certain parts of her body where she never thought hurting was possible.

Very real too, how we choose to overlook the flaws in a person that we (think?) we love, and the moment they do or say something that's sugary sweet to melt our hearts, all the wrongs they've done are forgotten and forgiven.

Silly creatures we women are sometimes, aren't we?

For those who haven't caught the show yet, hurry, go catch it before it ends its run. And while you're at it, don't forget the nachos with (extra) cheese dip. It's even more yummilicious when you're eating it and watching Jude Law! heh.
